Tapco 10/22 Barrel Features The Tapco 10/22 Barrel is machined to a 16.5 inch length and chambered in .22 LR giving Ruger 10/22 owners a drop in option for upgrading their factory barrel. The black carbon fiber finish provides a distinctive look compared to a standard blued or stainless barrel while helping shave weight off the front of the rifle. That lighter front end can make a noticeable difference in handling and offhand shooting especially for younger or smaller framed shooters running a 10/22 platform. The barrel installs using the same drop in fitment as the factory barrel keeping the swap simple for anyone comfortable with basic gunsmithing. A 1/2x28 threaded muzzle is included as a special feature opening the door to suppressor use or the addition of a muzzle brake or flash hider. That threading is a meaningful upgrade over an unthreaded factory barrel for shooters who want to quiet down their rimfire rifle or tune its handling characteristics. At 1.75 pounds shipping weight the barrel is easy to handle during installation and does not add excessive bulk to the finished rifle. Whether the goal is a lighter range gun or a suppressor ready 10/22 this barrel gives Ruger 10/22 owners a straightforward path to both.
